BIOGRAPHY: |
When you hear Joslyn, you hear songs set deep in rhythm, a city vibe, a
voice that makes the hair on your neck stand on end, and real soul. Along
the way, you hear the echoing influences of Marvin Gaye, Jill Scott, Jamiroquai,
and Prince.
Joslyn Petty, born and raised in Washington, D.C., was the seventh child
in a family of eight. She was born into a world of music. Her
parents met while performing in resort lounges back in the 60's so it was
no surprise that they would eventually turn out a family full of vocalists,
musicians, DJs, and music business professionals. As a child, Joslyn was
exposed to an eclectic range of music that influenced and subtly molded
her. Her mother will never forget a performance at the age of six where
Joslyn’s voice brought an audience to tears. There was something
undeniable about her that needed to be set free. Her smooth inflections
and incomparable gracing set her apart in the ranks of her fellow music
school classmates. Even though she was classically trained at one of the
best performing arts schools in suburban Washington, Joslyn was always
drawn back to the gritty and soulful sounds of her neighboring urban habitat,
defeating any lure from the homogeneous suburban arts school. This girl
was ready to bust out.
A family move to Utah at the age of 15 further developed her will to stand out in the crowd. A vibrant music scene in Salt Lake City led to session work, many performances and finally a receptionist job in a local recording studio. It was here that the break she was hoping for occurred. Canadian boys Craig Poole and Rob Wannamaker, producing in this studio overheard Joslyn helping out with a vocal session. The three immediately connected and commenced to write, produce and perform a number of hit tracks for the artist Kaskade, including the dance floor smashes "What I Say", "It's You, It's Me" and "Sweet Love". In 2005, Joslyn’s blazing performance of the song "Everything" propelled it to #1 on the Billboard Club Play chart.
After accomplishing so much with Kaskade; Joslyn, Rob and Craig embarked on a project of their own and came up with something that transcended all they had done before. They have tapped into a real nostalgia with brilliant songs rooted in the healthiest soil of R&B. The new CD, simply entitled "joslyn", will thrill music enthusiasts worldwide. Selections have a nice range from soulful to funky with some pop crossover appeal.
Joslyn’s lifelong dreams of bringing her brand of soul music to the culture are sure to be realized. This is the new style....the girl you won’t forget. |
